• Q&A With T-Pain, Performing at AAA on Sunday

  Many of today's hip-hop personalities and R&B royalty would have fans believe they've got the genuine Midas touch, but few in recent years can truly back that claim up. The Tallahassee-born T-Pain, however, is one of these chosen few. It's no wonder Akon snatched him up for his own imprint, Konvict Muzik, upon hearing his rendition of the impresario's single, "Locked Up," back in 2005.  Since then Pain has put singles on the Top 40 almost faster than Billboard can get to print, thanks

• Top 10 Pop Songs of 2008

  Pop music often gets a bad rap for being disposable or vapid, and in many cases that's true. (Katy Perry, Danity Kane and the Pussycat Dolls, step right up!) But every year, a few irresistible bits of innovative ear candy rocket up the charts and seep into our subconscious. The following ten singles saturated the Top 40 -- or what passes for hit-oriented radio in this topsy-turvy musical climate -- while proving that accessibility doesn't necessarily preclude creativity.

• DJ Khaled Has Not Been Killed in a High-Speed Bentley Chase, DJ Khaled Claims

  In one of the more outrageous celebrity-death rumors we've heard (FYI: Eminem, Blossom, and Doogie Howser are indeed alive) various blogs have been reporting that Miami pseudo-star DJ Khaled led cops on a three-hour Bentley chase through Los Angeles streets before killing himself. A white-Bentley-driving assault suspect did indeed lead cops on a chase and then kill himself as he was surrounded. First Chris Brown was said to be the driver, and then DJ Khaled, probably because he sort of looks l

• Enrique y Joe Capitalizing on Domestic Abuse

  Perhaps the most shocking thing to come out of the whole sad Rihanna and Chris Brown abuse story is the public's reaction, along with how many people are quick to quip that Rihanna surely must have done something to deserve it. The latest rumor is that Rihanna got herpes from Jay-Z and gave it to Chris Brown. How anyone can even pretend to know that is ridiculous, yet it seems to be going around at a higher rate than the virus itself. Even MTV sees no problem in writing about the topic. Enter ta

• About That Rihanna Post This Morning...

  The last thing in the world I want is for a serious point I was trying to make about domestic abuse devolve into some pissing match with two radio jocks. The underlying subject matter is too serious. Enrique Santos left a long comment on the original post, and you should read it to get his side of the story. In response, I was disturbed by much of the gossipy response to the Chris Brown scandal that tried to justify the alleged assault by inferring that Rihanna some how deserved it. When I saw t

• DontDateHimGirl.com Has Something To Say About Chris Brown, Too

  Remember our old friend Tasha Cunningham? She started DontDateHimGirl.com: the locally run website that allows women to anonymously dish about men they've dated. New Times wrote about the site extensively back in 2006. Well, DDHG wants some of this Chris Brown/Rihanna publicity too. The site just issued a press release touting itself as an effective tool to avoid domestic abuse: "Every nine seconds, a woman in the U.S. is a victim of dating violence. Since the arrest of singer Chris Brown in the

• Sun-Sentinel and Herald Approach Rihanna Photo With Different Levels of Dignity

  This morning my RSS reader was dominated by the media ethics debate sparked by the leak a picture depicting pop singer Rihanna's bruised and battered face. Here's a snippet I happen to agree with from Salon blogger Tracy Clark-Flory: "Despite the fact that the photo is so widely available, I can't bring myself to even link to it, because it seems like such a sickening violation of Rihanna's privacy. I realize that it seems a quaint thing to say in an age when the general public feels entitled to

• MP3 of the Day: "Fountain of Youth" by Purple Popcorn, Playing White Room This Friday

  ​The local hard rock-rap band Purple Popcorn does, in fact, rock, but has gotten most of its recognition from stomping all over pop hip-hop. In the early days of its formation two years ago, the band pummeled both Soulja Boy's "Crank That" and Chris Brown's "Kiss Kiss," and in so doing added some much-needed weight to both tracks. More recently, Purple Popcorn did the same thing with Kid Cudi's "Day N Nite," though why they did so is anybody's guess. Thankfully, these days the band is after mo

  via Flickr user Lander Photography​George Lucas is back to squeeze a little more cash out of the Star Wars franchise. This time, it's not a new line of toys, a cartoon, or even another prequel. Nope, this time the multimedia event is Star Wars: In Concert. The two-hour performance uses a full symphony orchestra, choir, and of course clips from the films to make geeks wet dreams come true. And just to make it a little cooler, Anthony Daniels (C-3PO) provides the narration. STIC is at BankAtlant
